Recent purchase from WineBid. Enjoyed with a prime rib roast for Christmas dinner. There's a bit of classic brambly Zin here, but the fruit was mostly faded, which resulted in a lack of depth. Still, not bad, but would've been better a few years ago for sure. Drank the bottle over a couple of hours.

Full modded Russian River Zin with hints of blackberry and white pepper. Opening surprisingly well, given its age and without decanting. We enjoyed with BBQ'd filets.

Very nice wine. Maybe a little early. Did not go very well with the pizza, maybe the acidity of the tomato sauce. But a good lighter Zin.

Wished I had waited although great now. I really enjoyed it but it still has some time left!
